Israeli soldiers arrest two Palestinian journalists

October 19, 2012 1:48 PM ET

On October 10, 2012, Israeli soldiers raided the home of Mohammed Atallah
al-Tamimi, a Palestinian journalist for the private Tamimi Press Agency in the
West Bank town of Nabi Saleh, according to news
reports. Al-Tamimi was arrested and taken to an unknown location, news
reports said. Authorities have not disclosed his whereabouts, condition, or the
charges against him.

Israeli authorities arrested another Palestinian journalist on June
3, 2012. Soldiers detained Sharif al-Rjoub, a journalist for the Jerusalem-based
Al-Aqsa Radio station, after raiding his home in the southern West Bank town of
Hebron, according to news
reports. Al-Rjoub was taken to the Ofer administrative detention center, news
reports said.

Al-Rjoub is the Hebron correspondent for Al-Aqsa and covers daily
news about the Israeli occupation of the West bank--in particular, settlement
expansion in the area, anti-settlement demonstrations, and Israeli arrests of
Palestinian prisoners--Hassan al-Dirawi, head of the news section at Al-Aqsa,
told CPJ.

During the three months of his detention, al-Rjoub has appeared in
front of a military court once, but his hearing was postponed, according to
al-Dirawi. No charges have been brought against him yet. Under administrative
detention procedures, authorities may hold detainees for six months without
charge or trial and then extend the detention an unlimited number of times.
